THE GOOD NEWS:
This woman arrived in Israel on Feb 25th 1947. She grew up not knowing the most basic facts about herself: What was her original name? Where and when was she born? Who were her parents?
Her luck came when Vered Berman at the Israeli TV included her in the preparations for the documentary ” The Wanda Lists” back in 1994.
Through several TV programs and much research, Izabella now knows the information above. She still hasn’t found any document giving her exact birthdate.
This fantastic development was presented in a special documentary by Vered Berman called Hanita’s Missing Identity on Channel One here in Israel.

PHOTOS OF IZABELLA’S PARENTS
Can anybody tell Izabella about her parents?
Are there any photos of her parents somewhere?
Has anybody been able to obtain photos of graduates of Lviv University from the 1920’s and 1930’s? At least Izabella’s mother studied there.

THE WALDBAUM DROGERIE IN UL.GRODECKA 62
Does anybody remember her father’s Drogerie in ul. Grodecka 62 in Lviv?
Izabella was lucky to obtain a drawing of the outside of the drogerie and during her visit to Lviv, she was able to go inside the presentday photo shop.
This Drogerie is listed in the Lviv telephone catalogues at least from 1932 onwards..

IZABELLA’S MATERNAL GRANDFATHER IZIDOR KLAFTEN
It is known that Izabella’s maternal grandfather Isidor Izrael Markus Klaften had a big store in ul. Akademicka 4 in Lviv where among other things, he sold toys. Perhaps somebody remembers this shop and the Klaften family?

DR. ADOLPH LOEW
Dr. Adolph Loew who had a clinic in ul. Grodecka 54 was another relative. He was born in 1885 ( possibly 1881). He had a son named Seweryn Loew. There is a rumour that the Loew family emigrated to the States before World War Two. Can you help us check this rumour?

I’ve been doing a great deal of research on what I personally think is perhaps one of the darkest moments in the world’s history. I’m very concerned that my children will not otherwise learn of it and will not respect the seriousness. I wish I could fill in the blank answers that you search out. I want to weep for you. This is so sad. Here we are in 2009 and you still suffer the affects that one evil man and his corrupt desires has inflicted upon you. Please know, that many people still carry you and others that have shared your sufferings in prayer. I wish I could offer more. May God bless you in your search for answers.
